: my grandfather (80) was diagnosed w/ cancer a month ago and he has a massive tumor in one of his lungs and possibly something else developing. he also has diabetes and has been very out of it lately. the hospital has wanted to drag him back and forth early in the morning for radiation treatments Holli, I know just how hard this is on you. I am going through the same thing with my mother. She made the choice to have no treatment from the beginning (4-5-2000). She is leaving us very rapidly. I had thought we might have at least four months with her but it doesn't look that way. Just be sure to let your grandfather know how much you love him and that you will misshim. Be there if he needs just a hug or whatever. My prayers and with you and your mom at this time. May God help you to face what lays ahead. If you would like to write me I have included my email. Just click on my name and it should give it to you. LOVE and HUGS MaggieP.S. My mother is 74 years old with small cell lung cancer.
